Power supply circuit 204 has output and feedback end, its output couples second end of light adjusting circuit 203, in order to supply second end that the second voltage VFG gives light adjusting circuit 203, use the voltage level that second end that improves light adjusting circuit 203 is received, and power supply circuit 204 determines the value of the second voltage VFG according to the feedback signal FB that its feedback end received, and wherein the second voltage VFG is less than the first voltage VLED.Feedback circuit is coupled between the feedback end of first end of light adjusting circuit 203 and power supply circuit 204, determines the value of feedback signal FB in order to the conducting state of foundation light adjusting circuit 203.
In this embodiment, feedback circuit comprises circuit for detecting 207, feedback voltage control circuit 208 and output voltage feedback circuit 209.Wherein circuit for detecting 207 comprises first end, second end and output, its first end couples first end of light adjusting circuit 203, its second end couples common electric potential GND, the current potential of exporting in order to the output of the decision of the impedance between second end of first end of foundation circuit for detecting 207 and circuit for detecting 207 circuit for detecting 207.
The input of feedback voltage control circuit 208 couples the output of circuit for detecting 207, its output output feedback signal FB, and in order to the current potential that the output of foundation circuit for detecting 207 is exported, the magnitude of voltage of Control and Feedback signal FB.Output voltage feedback circuit 209 is coupled between the feedback end of the output of power supply circuit 204 and power supply circuit 204, in order to the magnitude of voltage according to second voltage VFG decision feedback signal FB.
Circuit for detecting 207 comprises first impedance component and second impedance component.A first impedor wherein end, first end that is circuit for detecting 207 wherein, and the other end is the output of circuit for detecting 207.A second impedor wherein end couples the first impedor other end, and the other end is second end of circuit for detecting 207.First impedance component of this embodiment and second impedance component are realized with resistance 210 and 211 respectively.

When pulse width signal PWM is low logic state, light-emitting component 201 extinguishes, the voltage that first end of light adjusting circuit 203 is born can rise, but when not reaching light adjusting circuit 203 maximum withstand voltage as yet, resistance 211 resulting partial pressure value in the circuit for detecting 207 are just greater than the value of the operational amplifier 212 reference voltage VREF that receives, therefore operational amplifier 212 is output as low logic state (being the output earthed voltage at this embodiment), make diode 213 conductings, cause resistance 214 in parallel with resistance 216, make the feedback signal that feedback end received of power supply circuit 204 diminish, and then make power supply circuit 204 promote the level of the second voltage VFG that its output exports according to its feedback mechanism.
